(March 16, 2017) The junior varsity boys basketball team coached by Michael Day and Evan Hourihan spent the beginning of the season focusing on fundamentals, and after working through some early jitters, saw substantial improvement down the stretch, finishing with a 7-10 record.

“We started the season off slowly, which I was expecting having numerous turnovers and playing with little confidence. We worked very hard in practice on some key fundamentals and our defense, I knew if we could stick to some good basics we would see their confidence rise and therefore allow us to be competitive,” Day said.

“This is exactly what happened, we improved every day and got better as a basketball team as the season went along. When you are playing your best basketball and having fun at the end of the season, you know it was a success.”
